LYRICS:
When you close your eyes
When you say good night
Who do you dream of, and
Who are you hiding from
When we compromised
I slowly died inside
When you twist the knife
When you make me cry
All of my words are now
Already spoken
All of my dreams are lying
Shattered and broken
I was dying to breathe
In your house of cards
I was dying to leave
In your house of cards
Does it satisfy
Knowing you’ve denied
All that I dreamed of and
All that I couldn’t have
When we compromised
I slowly died inside
When you twist the knife
When you make me cry
All of my words are now
Already spoken.
All of my dreams are lying
Shattered and broken
I was dying to breathe
In your house of cards
I was dying to leave
In your house of cards
In your house of cards
In your house of cards
I hear the trees, they’re
Calling my name
I feel the wind
And the rain on my skin
It’s a medicine for my soul
All of my words are now
Already spoken
All of my dreams are lying
Shattered and broken
I was dying to breathe
In your house of cards
I was dying to leave
In your house of cards
In your house of cards
In your house of cards
I was dying to breathe
In your house of cards
I was dying to leave
In your house of cards
Run out of the darkness
Into the light
Run out of the darkness
Into the light
